SharePoint

Access SharePoint via Microsoft Graph API with managed OAuth authentication.

Quick Start

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/sharepoint/v1.0/sites/root')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/sharepoint/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to graph.microsoft.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your SharePoint OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/sharepoint/v1.0/sites/root',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'

Notes

• Site IDs follow the format: {hostname},{site-guid},{web-guid}
• Drive IDs with ! (e.g., b!abc123) must be URL-encoded (b%21abc123)
• Item IDs are opaque strings (e.g., 01WBMXT7NQEEYJ3BAXL5...)
• File uploads via PUT are limited to 4MB; use upload sessions for larger files
• Copy operations are asynchronous - check the Location header for progress
• Deleted items go to the SharePoint recycle bin
• Some admin operations require elevated permissions (Sites.FullControl.All)
